A Neo-Con Repents on Iraq

Barry Farber is a conservative talk show legend. He was a guest on my show two weeks ago, and then interviewed me a week later. The interviews opened up so many questions that I had to have him back on!Barry Faber explains why he is a neo-con but admits that he was wrong on Iraq. But, he explains, active American intervention has often been a force for good… but interventionists need to be much more savvy about the culture they are intervening in… and the Muslim world is unlike the rest.

About robin

Robin Koerner is British born, and recently became a citizen of the USA. A decade ago, he founded WatchingAmerica.com, an organization of over 200 volunteers that translates and posts in English views about the USA from all over the world.

Now as, a political and economic commentator for the Huffington Post, Independent Voter Network, and other outlets, Robin may be best known for having coined the term "Blue Republican" to refer to liberals and independents who joined the GOP to support Ron Paul’s bid for the presidency in 2012/12 (and, in so doing, launching the largest coalition that existed for that candidate).

Robin’s current work as author of the book, "If You Can Keep It", a trainer and a consultant, focuses on bringing people together across political divisions, with a view to winning supporters for good causes, rather than just arguments. He is driven by the conviction that more unites us as people and as Americans than divides us as partisans, and if we can find common ground and understand the forces that really drive political change, then “We the People” will be able to do what the Founders implored us to do – maintain our natural rights against power and its abuse. As he says, people and their well-being are the only legitimate ends of politics.
